En effet, dans un véhicule automobile comprenant un moteur à combustion interne de type Diesel, l' assistance au freinage est assurée par un servofrein relié à une pompe à vide qui est entraînée en rotation par le moteur, par exemple par l' intermédiaire d'un dispositif d' accouplement fixé à une extrémité de l' arbre à cames du moteur. A cet égard, on pourra se référer au document WOAn internal combustion engine camshaft may be subjected to more or less resistant torques during operation of the engine. A coupling is generally required to effectively transmit the engine torque provided by a crankshaft of the engine to the camshaft. This coupling, or another coupling, can also be used to control a pump, especially a vacuum pump. Indeed, in a motor vehicle comprising a diesel type internal combustion engine, the braking assistance is provided by a brake booster connected to a vacuum pump which is rotated by the engine, for example by means of a motor. a coupling device attached to one end of the engine camshaft. In this regard, reference may be made to the WO document
2004/057163, qui décrit la transmission du couple de l' arbre à cames d'un moteur à une pompe à vide par l' intermédiaire d'un tel dispositif d' accouplement. Ledit dispositif comprend un corps à l' intérieur duquel est ménagé un alésage étage recevant l' extrémité de l' arbre à cames et permettant le passage d'une vis apte à venir en appui contre une portion dudit corps de manière à assurer la fixation du dispositif sur l' arbre à cames. Le corps comprend également des rainures radiales coopérant avec des tenons de la pompe à vide pour la transmission du couple à ladite pompe. Par ailleurs, l' alésage du corps est conformé de manière à permettre une communication fluidique entre l' arbre à cames et la pompe à vide pour lubrifier la pompe avec un fluide lubrifiant utilisé pour le moteur.

La première portion 7 se prolonge vers l' intérieur, axialement du côté de la pompe à vide 3, par une paroi radiale 8 d' extrémité, qui se prolonge elle-même axialement, du côté opposé à ladite pompe 3, par une seconde portion axiale 9 essentiellement cylindrique. La seconde portion 9 comprend ici une surface radiale frontale 9a sensiblement décalée axialement par rapport à une surface radiale frontale 7a de la première portion 7, en direction de la paroi 8 radiale. Les première et seconde portions 7, 9 sont coaxiales et délimitent un espace annulaire 8a à l'intérieur duquel est montée l' extrémité du tube 4. L' espace annulaire 8a présente ici une dimension radiale sensiblement supérieure à l' épaisseur de l' arbre 1 à cames, de manière à laisser subsister un léger espace radial entre un alésage dudit arbre et la seconde portion 9 pour faciliter l' emmanchement de la première portion 7 sur l' arbre 1 , lors du montage de l' embout 6.The coupling device 2 comprises a tip 6 made in one piece and provided with a first annular portion 7, forming a sleeve coaxial with the shaft 1, and secured to one end of the tube 4. The first portion 7 is extended axially in the direction of the vacuum pump 3, by a radial end wall 8, which extends axially itself, on the opposite side to said pump 3, by a second axial portion 9 essentially cylindrical. The second portion 9 here comprises a front radial surface 9a substantially axially offset with respect to a front radial surface 7a of the first portion 7, in the direction of the radial wall 8. The first and second portions 7, 9 are coaxial and define an annular space 8a inside which the end of the tube 4 is mounted. The annular space 8a here has a radial dimension substantially greater than the thickness of the shaft. 1 to cams, so as to leave a slight radial space between a bore of said shaft and the second portion 9 to facilitate the fitting of the first portion 7 on the shaft 1, during assembly of the nozzle 6.
Comme illustré plus visiblement sur les figures 3 et 4, l' embout 6 comprend également des portions radiales formant brides, ici au nombre de trois et référencées 10 à 12, s' étendant radialement vers l' extérieur à partir de la première portion 7 et aptes à recevoir un couple moteur. Les brides 10 à 12 sont ici réparties de manière régulière sur la circonférence de la première portion 7 et comprennent respectivement des alésages 10a à 12a permettant le passage de vis de fixations (non représentées) pour la transmission du couple moteur.As illustrated more clearly in FIGS. 3 and 4, the end piece 6 also comprises radial portions forming flanges, here three in number and referenced 10 to 12, extending radially outwardly from the first portion 7 and able to receive a driving torque. The flanges 10 to 12 are here uniformly distributed over the circumference of the first portion 7 and respectively comprise bores 10a to 12a allowing the passage of fastening screws (not shown) for the transmission of the engine torque.
En ce qui concerne la première portion 7, celle-ci est destinée à transmettre ledit couple moteur reçu par les brides 10 à 12 à la pompe à vide 3. Le couple transmissible est fonction de la longueur de la première portion 7, de son épaisseur ainsi que de sa limite à la rupture.With regard to the first portion 7, it is intended to transmit said motor torque received by the flanges 10 to 12 to the vacuum pump 3. The transmittable torque is a function of the length of the first portion 7, its thickness as well as its limit at break.
Pour transmettre ce couple à la pompe à vide 3, l' embout 6 comprend une rainure radiale 13 pratiquée au niveau de la paroi d' extrémité 8 radiale et coopérant avec des tenons 15 et 16 de la pompe 3, de forme complémentaire, disposés à une de ses extrémités axiales. Bien entendu, il est également envisageable de prévoir d' autres moyens de transmission du couple moteur à la pompe 3. Toutefois, l'utilisation de tels tenons 15, 16 et rainure 13 est particulièrement simple et efficace. L' embout 6 comprend également un logement 17 réalisé ici sous la forme d'un alésage traversant de part en part la seconde portion 9, et qui débouche au niveau d'une surface frontale de la paroi 8 radiale. Le logement 17 est coaxial avec l' arbre 1 à cames. Afin de permettre une communication fluidique entre l' arbre 1 à cames à l' intérieur duquel est acheminé un fluide lubrifiant avec la pompe à vide 3, un moyen de prélèvement 18 de ladite pompe est monté à l' intérieur dudit logement 17.To transmit this torque to the vacuum pump 3, the nozzle 6 comprises a radial groove 13 formed at the radial end wall 8 and cooperating with lugs 15 and 16 of the pump 3, of complementary shape, arranged to one of its axial ends. Of course, it is also conceivable to provide other means of transmission of the engine torque to the pump 3. However, the use of such pins 15, 16 and groove 13 is particularly simple and effective. The tip 6 also comprises a housing 17 formed here in the form of a bore passing right through the second portion 9, and which opens at a front surface of the radial wall 8. The housing 17 is coaxial with the camshaft 1. In order to allow fluid communication between the camshaft 1 into which a lubricating fluid is conveyed with the vacuum pump 3, a sampling means 18 of said pump is mounted inside said housing 17.
Le moyen de prélèvement 18 comprend une pipette 19 tubulaire coaxiale avec l' arbre 1 et montée en partie à l' intérieur d'un alésageThe sampling means 18 comprises a tubular pipette 19 coaxial with the shaft 1 and mounted partly inside a bore
19a de la pompe à vide 3. La pipette 19 est en saillie par rapport à une surface d' extrémité de ladite pompe 3, et pourvue, à proximité de son extrémité axiale, d'une lèvre annulaire 20 en contact avec le logement 17 de manière à réaliser une bonne étanchéité entre l' embout 6 et ladite pipette 19 afin de limiter sensiblement les risques de fuites vers l' extérieur du fluide lubrifiant. La pipette 19 permet ainsi d' alimenter en fluide lubrifiant des canaux d' alimentation 21 de la pompe 3 pour sa lubrification.19a of the vacuum pump 3. The pipette 19 is projecting with respect to an end surface of said pump 3, and provided, near its axial end, an annular lip 20 in contact with the housing 17 of in order to achieve a good seal between the nozzle 6 and said pipette 19 to substantially reduce the risk of leakage to the outside of the lubricating fluid. The pipette 19 thus makes it possible to supply lubricating fluid to the supply channels 21 of the pump 3 for its lubrication.
L' embout 6 est ainsi non seulement destiné à recevoir un couple moteur, à le transmettre à l' arbre à cames 1 ainsi qu' à la pompeThe nozzle 6 is thus not only intended to receive a driving torque, to transmit it to the camshaft 1 as well as to the pump
3, mais permet également d' alimenter en fluide lubrifiant ladite pompe 3 à partir du fluide circulant dans l' arbre 1 à cames.3, but also makes it possible to supply lubricating fluid to said pump 3 from the fluid flowing in the camshaft 1.
Afin de recevoir un couple moteur, le dispositif 2 d' accouplement comprend également un organe d' entraînement 22 pourvu ici d'un flasque 23 fixé sur l' arbre 1 à cames au voisinage de son extrémité axiale, d'un pignon de jumelage 24 disposé sur ledit flasque 23, d'un pignon de chaîne 25 rapporté sur ledit pignon de jumelage, axialement du côté opposé au flasque 23, et d'une entretoise 26 de fixation montée axialement entre le pignon de chaîne 25 et la surface radiale frontale 9a de l' embout 6.In order to receive a driving torque, the coupling device 2 also comprises a drive member 22 here provided with a flange 23 fixed on the camshaft 1 near its axial end, with a pairing pinion 24. disposed on said flange 23, a chain sprocket 25 attached to said pairing gear, axially on the opposite side to the flange 23, and a fixing spacer 26 mounted axially between the chain gear 25 and the front radial surface 9a of the end piece 6.
En variante, il est également envisageable de prévoir une unique pièce regroupant le pignon de chaîne 25 et l' entretoise 26. Toutefois, l' entretoise 26 permet de pouvoir utiliser des pignons 24,Alternatively, it is also conceivable to provide a single piece comprising the chain sprocket 25 and the spacer 26. However, the spacer 26 makes it possible to use sprockets 24,
25 existants.25 existing ones.
Lors du montage du dispositif 2 d' accouplement, une première étape consiste à fixer le flasque 23 sur l' arbre 1 à cames, par exemple par soudage, par frettage, ou encore par collage. Puis, on met en place le pignon de jumelage 24, le pignon de chaîne 25, et l' entretoise 26, par l' intermédiaire de vis de fixation (non représentées), sur le flasque 23, sans serrer lesdites vis. On bloque ensuite en rotation le vilebrequin du moteur et l' arbre 1 à cames, et on tend une chaîne de distribution montée sur le pignon 25. En fonction de la tension de ladite chaîne, les pignons 24 et 25 pivotent légèrement par rapport à l' arbre 1 à cames grâce à des trous oblongs (non représentés) pratiqués sur ledit pignon. On immobilise enfin les pignons 24, 25 et l' entretoiseWhen mounting the coupling device 2, a first step is to fix the flange 23 on the camshaft 1, for example by welding, by shrinking, or by gluing. Then, the pairing pinion 24, the chain pinion 25, and the spacer 26 are put in place, by means of fixing screws (not shown), on the flange 23, without tightening the said screws. The crankshaft of the engine and the camshaft 1 are then locked in rotation, and a distribution chain mounted on the pinion 25 is tensioned. Depending on the tension of said chain, the pinions 24 and 25 pivot slightly with respect to the 1 camshaft through oblong holes (not shown) formed on said pinion. Finally, the sprockets 24, 25 and the spacer are immobilized
26 sur le flasque 23 grâce aux vis de fixation, et on obtient ainsi un calage particulièrement précis du vilebrequin et de l' arbre 1 à cames. Une fois que l' organe d' entraînement 22 est ainsi monté sur l' arbre 1 à cames, on fixe l' embout 6 sur l' entretoise 26 en bout d' arbre 1 , qui permet, et ce, de manière particulièrement économique, de transmettre le couple moteur à l' arbre à cames 1 et à la pompe 3, et d' alimenter ladite pompe en fluide lubrifiant avec le même fluide que celui utilisé pour ledit arbre à cames. 26 on the flange 23 through the fastening screws, and thus obtaining a particularly accurate setting of the crankshaft and the camshaft 1. Once the drive member 22 is thus mounted on the camshaft 1, the end piece 6 is fixed to the spacer 26 at the end of the shaft 1, which makes it possible, and this, in a particularly economical manner, transmitting the engine torque to the camshaft 1 and the pump 3, and supplying said pump with lubricating fluid with the same fluid as used for said camshaft.
